The Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II is to cut the sod for the commencement of construction works on a SUN CITY Project at the Race Course in Kumasi.The approximately 100 acre project is a modern complex with shopping malls, amusement centre comprising swimming pools, restaurants, night clubs, hospital, banks, insurance building, parking lots and 240 Apartment Buildings mostly for managers of the project.This is indeed great news for residents of Kumasi.Kembert Group and International Partners from South Africa are the investors for this project.The interesting aspect of the whole project is that, it would be located next door the Kumasi Zoological Gardens in the heart of the Kumasi metropolis, thus making access easy.The Asantehene is expected to officially cut the sod on Friday October 15, 2010 to signify the commencement of work.The only hiccup to the project is where to relocate traders and hawkers who are currently occupying the place but authorities of the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) have assured that it was planning a relocation place for them before work on the project commence in earnest."They are therefore to keep their cool and not be anxious", the KMA said

About Me

In here, I try to provide news and pictures of recent events and developments in the Kumasi metropolis, otherwise refered to as the Garden City of West Africa which happens to be Ghana's second largest city after Accra.
The metropolis is gradually expanding and a lot more suburbs are springing up. I'm just a little person who knows nothing. I'm here to share my thoughts, opinions, and learn from each one of you. Please take time to leave me a comment and note that my prayers are with you all. Peace.

Ghanablogging

Dodi Princess

A cruise on the Volta Lake to the Dodi Island located in the Volta region of Ghana. This was during one of my usual vacations where I went on a cruise with my pal - Boahene Asamoah (Daily Graphic, Accra) and a couple of friends. A cruise on the Lake Volta to the Dodi Island aboard the Dodi Princess Boat would enable you to discover Ghana as a country not only rich in culture, but full of natural scenic beauty. The boat cruise on the world's largest man-made lake (Volta) is an experience everyone needs to have. From there you could visit the Cape Coast slave trading fort in the Central region. Explore the forest canopy at Kakum National Park. Enjoy game viewing in Mole National Park. After all that, then come to KUMASI to delve into both modern and ancient West African cultures. Kumasi is the ancient capital of the Ashanti Kingdom. Observe drum, pottery and cloth making in traditional styles, and visit Manhyia Palace, home to the Ashanti King, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II. This blog would try to feed you with news in the metropolis. CHEERS!!
